Teen depression is an incredibly common issue. Of course, many teens avoid sharing their emotions with their parents, even if they are struggling with depression. This is not your fault.
Many depressed teens feel that their parents couldn’t possibly understand them. Others feel as though their low feelings must be a normal part of adolescence, not worth attention. Or they fear that their disinterest in the world is so abnormal that they are ashamed to ask for help. If you have noticed worrisome behaviors in your teen and feel helpless as a parent, it may be time to seek outside help.
